Indians tried to buy her when she was a baby. At first they offered things of little value, then a pony, and finally an Indian papoose, all to no avail. (Brainerd's Half Century, Ingolf Dillan, General Printing Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota: 1923; p. 25)
A. J. Demeules has severed his connection with the post-office department, and accepted a position under I. Seymour at the Northern Pacific store house.

BRAINERD, Minn., Feb. 26.--Brainerd has again been visited by a devastating fire in the heart of the business center, entailing a loss approximating $100,000. About one-half is insured and some of the leading business places are entirely destroyed.
The fire started in the rear of L. M. Koop's dry goods and notion store, about 8:30 o'clock last evening, and before assistance could be secured, the large two-story frame structure was enveloped in a seething mass of flames and this, with adjoining buildings, were doomed.
Those who sustained losses are given as follows: L. M. Koop, dry goods and notions [614-616 Front Street], loss $35,000; insurance, $20,000; L. Hohman, confectionery and cigars [616 1/2 Front Street], loss, $1,800, insurance, $1,500; Linneman Bros., clothing [624 Front Street], loss $18,000, insurance $14,500; J. H. Welliver, barber shop [612 1/2 Front Street], loss $300, insurance $200; Mrs. C. Grandelmyer, millinery stock and building [612 Front Street], loss $6,000, insurance $5,000; Frank Ady, household goods [614 1/2 Front Street], loss $1,500, insurance $1,000; Z. E. McCullough, household furniture, loss $900, insurance $350; Mrs. Severin Koop, loss on building, $12,000, insurance $8,000.
The fire burned fiercely, once it was started, and for a time the big Sleeper block and first National bank block were in danger, but a solid brick wall helped the firemen materially in their work.
The flames spread with rapidity to the east and at a time when it was thought the flames were under control, the Cale block [622 Front Street] caught fire and while the firemen succeeded in saving the building, the stock of dry goods [Cale Dry Goods, 618 Front Street] was damaged to an extent of $25,000, making a total loss of over $100,000.
